    This could actually be a few different color patterns that were cut to fit and give the illusion of fading. You'd have to be super patient and tedious with it, but I'm assuming whoever has Porsche money could have paid someone else to do that work for them.

    It's been holding up good, at this point it's a little faded. As expected. I went a cheapy E-bay brand, nothing special.

    How did the wrapping go? I want to wrap my 2nd gen and I most likely will do it myself to save money

    I thought about satin black Tonka logo on the bed, by the tail lights. Right now though, I'm happy with it as is.

    If the vinyl is left on for years, its a good bet the paint will get jacked up pulling the sticker off anyways. I did automotive graphics for years and taking off old decals or graphics that have baked in the sun after a few years is a beast. We had specialized tools to do it, but still if your goal is saving the paint your better saving up the money to repaint it in a 10 or 20 years instead.

    Based on what? Not doubting you, but most quality wrap suppliers guarantee that it won't damage paint if you remove it. With a guarantee like that, I would think that they are using a different sort of adhesive than a typical decal or sticker.
